For years, I patronized a hot blonde chick at several salons as she moved around. She owned two of those salons. Did about 20% of her business cutting men's' hair. I knew her pretty well and we showed each other photos of our families, talked about almost everything, etc. She was...quite scenic. So were many of her female customers, seen as I waited.

But I can no longer easily drive to her current location and the price has increased to the point that I need to spend less on haircuts.

I now use a closer shop that has primarily female barbers, but just so-so looking and some over 40. I try to get coupons that get me a haircut at $9.00. Without a coupon, it's $14.00, which seems to be the average rate where I live. I tip about $3.00. There's a famous brand ice cream shop next door, an added convenience.

Other shops around here are mostly other chains, but have barbers less desirable than the shop I use. I can't comment further or I'd run afoul of the Rules here.
